Manchester City, Juventus, Real Madrid, and Barcelona have all been heavily linked with a move for the talented centre-back, but the Blaugrana president has now publicly confirmed Barca’s interest in de Ligt.

“We have to talk about it from March, which is when we take the decisions, but his name is on the table, of course,” he told SER Radio.

The reigning La Liga holders seem to be in driver’s seat given their excellent relationship with the Eredivisie outfit.

Only a month ago, the Catalan giants officially secured the services of de Ligt’s teammate Frenkie de Jong, and the two could play together next season as things stand right now.
